[Sweet_Stuff]

Ok y'all, here we go... 

2016 Texas Pony Meet Up!

 

**Save the Date**
Saturday, June 25, 2016 in Tyler, TX

Time: 10 am - 5 pm ish

Location(s): Sweet_Stuff's Home

Sign up deadline: Closed

About: This will be a multi-generational, family friendly pony meet up, focusing on the older gens (G1-G3) for Texan collectors - this is not a Brony event. Feel free to bring ponies/accessories/playsets for sale or trade and even some of your favorite G1 - G3 ponies for Show and Tell! Please note: We will not turn away non Texas folks who are in town that weekend and would like to attend! UPDATE: My mom is graciously helping with lunch refreshments. Dinner as well as buying & trading are Dutch/on your own.

For participants: We should have enough G3 prizes and would appreciate more of G1 and G2 prizes. If you plan to help with FOOD/REFRESHMENTS, DECORATIONS or general SET UP, please plan to arrive at around 9 a.m. Saturday. While there is no cost to attend, donations are welcome! ALL donations will go to paying my mom back for lunch and extra items she has/will graciously bought/buy for this.

I ask all participants to please refrain from wearing any kind of perfume / cologne that day/evening as your hostess is chemically sensitive. If you must wear it, I ask that you do not sign up. Thanks for your understanding in advance!

If you would like a list of things to do in the area, I can provide suggestions! Please PM if you would like to sign up! You are welcome to bring a guest and/or food/treats for everyone, just let me know so we have a good count/enough.

Any questions?, please PM me. At some point after deadline has passed and location(s) is/are secured, I will notify all participants with additional information.

9 am Arrive/set up - Optional - only if you brought goodies/food, BST & Raffle items

Looks like I can't go the thought of not wearing any type of fragrance makes me feel less hygienic and funky to say the least

Aw, ok. It sucks that I even have to mention that.. I had a nasty pesticide exposure in January, and unfortunately I'm now sensitive to formaldehyde, cigarette smoke, most perfumes/ colognes, chemical cleaners and related stuff.. I've been to doctors, and they all say it's a temporary thing, but they can't tell me when / if I'll be back to "normal."

I'm also super sensitive to cigarette smoke! Pretty please no one smoke around me because I have asthema! xD

[Melodia]

I will try my hardest to make it! I will bring goodies for everyone yay :3

I wish I could make it to one of these pony meet ups but they are so far away and I think I may be one of the only people in NH that collect ponies lol
